Strange turn of events for Steinway Mansion

Philip Loria, an Astoria-based attorney, is denying he sold historic home to attorney Karl McNamara, which the TimesLedger Newspapers reported Monday based on information provided by the Greater Astoria Historical Society.

“I want to make it unequivocally clear that the Steinway Mansion was never sold not is it in contract to be sold,” Loria said. “Furthermore, I do not know of any attorney Karl McNamara not had I ever had any discussions, conversations or dealings whatsoever with this alleged individual.”

Karl McNamara is scheduled to make a presentation at a public meeting at the Greater Astoria Historical Society Monday at 7 p.m. to discuss the purchase of the iconic mansion, his plans to restore it and open the Steinway Conservatory.

I don't trust Loria at all - he has done a nice job of deflecting the blame away from the pols as he hawks the building, like spare lumber, on Craigs List where people with names like Frankie Marbles drool over the idea of ownership.

The Friends are awesome.

Everyday they drag that mansion into the Astoria public square banging a drum, while the Astoria Village lumpkins gather sullenly around, hands in pockets, staring at their feet, while the Village Idiots pick apart the building's legacy and the community's future.

Liar Liar your pants are on fire.So the lack of any announcement on 9/21 should serve to prove to all the haters, that GAHS and "vanishing" Karl are LIARS.I'm not sure who's done the bigger injustice to this cause, the liar (Bob Singleton) or the news paper that printed his lies without a single fact check. Bobby the good news is, the bullshit always floats.

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
